AI and partisan politics

[Axtremus]

I find that I usually go with AI when I ask/Google a “how to” question or want a broad overview of something.
I often disable AI (using “-ai” in my Google queries) when I want to lookup specific information.

The distillation of the information is wonderful.

No question. Instead of going to 25 sites for comparisons on insurance, one can specify the type of information required, places to include in the search, criteria for review, etc - and instead of one having to search myriad sites, it's there in seconds - in graph form if so requested.

My stereo and audio storage installation - connecting devices from multiple vendors with different interfaces - a nightmare that would have taken forever to sort through - was relatively easy with the help of AI.

It's perhaps even more transformative than the introduction of the PC, the internet, and social media.

[Mik]

Yes

Hard to beat how transformative the PC and internet were, but I guess they're all built upon each other. The PC is the car, the internet are the roads, the social media are the crackheads on the corner asking for money, and AI is the ability to instantaneously map out the most efficient google maps route from A to B to include all traffic dynamics, construction sites, toll roads... i.e., it connect the dots and even suggests better dot connections.

The PC is the diagonal, and the internet is the frog. Because a good analogy is like a diagonal frog.

Florida GOP Gubernatorial candidate wants to ‘cancel AI data centers’.

[Mik]

Doesn’t seem very GOPlike

Neither did MAGA 10 years ago. Maybe the realignment is just starting.

This reminds me of the comment from the guy on Odd Lots - who after Trump can effectively ‘straddle the two Ps’ (populism and Peter Thiel, the latter being an avatar for the tech right)

Like anybody even knows what that is. Ok. I get it. Their ideas. Nobody even knows what that is.

Ask your buddy with a neutral prompt.

[jon-nyc]

Think about H1-Bs, tariffs, industrial policy re old school manufacturing, and yes, AI regulation

[Horace]

@jon-nyc you probably imagine that you and I disagree on some neutral point.

[jon-nyc]

I disagree.
